History
In September 2007, Arunachal Cricket Association applied for BCCI's affiliation.[3] In October 2008, it got the BCCi's affiliation.[4] The Arunachal Pradesh cricket team played its first domestic match in December 2009 in Under-19 tournament. The teams faced infrastructure issues during its inception.[3]
In August 2010, the association faced corruption allegations regarding buying of land.[5] After Lodha Panel ordered "One state, one vote" reforms, north east states were expected to get play in the 2017–18 senior domestic season but BCCI ignored the reforms order.[6][7] After long legal battle, in July 2018, BCCI granted the association full member status and the team made its senior-level debut in 2018–19 season.[8] In its debut season, the association received bribe offers for player selection.[9] In September 2019, as per the reforms, its elections were held and TC Tok was elected as the association's president.[10]
